It depends what you're hunting - for instance, spending an hour whacking
dragons and daemons at the fire temple usually nets me about 3-400k an hour.
I get similar results going after the ones in Wind. You can usually sell the
faction silver you get from the daemons there for about 10gp per 1sp - and
you don't have to be in a faction to get it.(Fel shard - not sure about
Tram's Wind)
For a reasonably good score, there's always the ancient lich in Kahldun - I
was there on Europa about a month ago (Again, Fel only - don't think Kahldun
exists on Tram.).
The Zealots there drop reasonable amounts, too - you're looking at about
1000gp a minute with them. Don't bother with those 'cursed' idiots, or the 4
main characters - you'll be lucky to get 300gp a time off them.
(side question - does anyone know if the books they drop are counted as
rares, or are they just trivia?).
I haven't tried the trick chests there - I don't have treasure hunting or
thievery skills- but I hear there's a fair amount of gold in them most of
the time.
Then, there's always the ancient wyrm, balrons and paragons...
Have a bag of sending and loads of powder with you, room in your bank box,
and a decent luck suit on, and it's not too hard to get to those figures.
Of course, for the really big money, you need to find another player who
hasn't insured anything, is loaded to overflowing with gold, and is worse at
PvP than you are, but I haven't met anyone worse at it than me yet...
